This pair of Japanese Imari porcelain plates dates from 1900 and exhibits a traditional Imari style. The pieces are finished with a white glaze and decorated with hand-painted floral urn motifs, compartmentalised panels, and gilded accents in cobalt blue and iron red enamels, all framed by scalloped rims. Visible details include clear white backgrounds beneath intricate floral baskets, leafy branches, and geometric patterns executed across the surface. Each plate measures 4.5 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 30 cm deep. These decorative plates integrate well into an English country house interior, serving as an eye-catching display on a sideboard top. They provide a colourful focal point when arranged together in a formal dining room, living area, or hallway console arrangement. The vibrant red and blue palette contrasts neatly against polished wooden surfaces while maintaining a classic presentation.

FAQs

Imari porcelain refers to Japanese export ceramics produced around the Arita region and shipped from the port of Imari, gaining widespread European popularity from the seventeenth century onwards.

These pieces are crafted from fine kaolin porcelain clay, decorated with underglaze cobalt blue pigment, and finished with overglaze iron red enamel and gold detailing before a secondary firing.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-painted brushwork with minor natural variations, visible spur marks on the underside, a subtle weight in the hand, and gentle surface wear on overglaze enamels.

Position them upright on acrylic or brass stands upon a sideboard top, arrange them within a curated plate wall, or balance them alongside books in a display cabinet.

Clean gently by hand using warm water and a non-abrasive liquid detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals, scrubbers, or dishwasher use to safeguard the delicate gilding and enamels.
